Some marriages don't end because love disappears. They end because grief quietly replaces it. Layla Scott and Tristan Scott were once the couple everyone envied. She was the brilliant attorney who believed love could survive anything. He was the celebrated heart surgeon who promised to protect her heart forever. Together, they dreamed of building a family. Instead, they buried three babies. With every miscarriage, Layla disappears deeper into guilt, convinced her broken body has failed the man she loves. Tristan buries his own heartbreak behind endless surgeries, believing that carrying the weight alone is what a husband is supposed to do. Until the silence between them becomes louder than their vows. One moment of weakness shatters the fragile trust holding their marriage together. But the greatest betrayal doesn't end there. Because after the guilt... after the apologies... after promising himself it would never happen again... Tristan meets someone who understands the parts of him his wife no longer can. What begins as friendship slowly becomes the one place where he feels seen. And by the time he realizes he's fallen in love... his marriage is already over. If Only is a heartbreaking story about grief, emotional infidelity, forgiveness, and the impossible choices that follow when love collides with loss. Because sometimes the marriage doesn't end the day someone cheats. Sometimes it ends long before that. Sometimes, it ends the day two people stop grieving together.

After an unexpected ceiling collapse sends her apartment into chaos, Madelaine Grayson ends up living with her brother - and dangerously close to his tattooed, way-too-charming roommate. He's off-limits... but resisting him might be impossible. *** When Madelaine Grayson's bathroom ceiling caves in, it's not just drywall that crumbles. It's her entire world. Forced to move in with her brother, she finds herself swept up in the chaos of his new protective attitude - especially when it comes to his tattooed roommate, Noah Laurier. Noah is the epitome of perfection: sweet, hot, and embedded into every thought Madelaine has. But he's forbidden, and the closer she gets, the harder he is to resist. Well... what her brother doesn't know can't hurt him, right? *** "Matt's sister, I presume?" He walks towards the couch and my eyes widen. He's tall. I thought I was tall but this man could tower me, and when he reaches a hand towards me, there's an intricate clock tattooed on the back of his hand and his fingers have bones tattooed over them. This man is not human. He's tall and angular and dripping with sex appeal. This man is hot. Capital H, capital O, capital T. I don't think I've ever seen a human being so attractive. All I can think about as I force myself to keep my eyes on the screen is the feel of his jaw beneath my hand, and it takes everything in me not to look
